Ruth Ann and the Green Blowster
Ruth Ann and the Green Blowster is one of the most refreshing and imaginative children's chapter adventure books to surface in a long time. It's a whimsical tale with undercurrents of menace, excitement and danger, and a cast of eccentric and original characters.
Following the sudden death of her puppy, Ruth Ann and Whistle Stick are hurled through space aloft the Green Blowster's breath column, to an alternate world, for one last visit with Dukey Daddles. Throughout their odyssey they meet a host of quirky characters, like Lonesome Snake, who was kicked up to "High Country" by a mule. They fight valiantly against treacherous foes, make tremendous sacrifices, and learn the importance of friendship, teamwork, compassion and courage...all while racing against time.
